Answer:

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Late delivery.

Event B: Service 2 was used.

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery service 2.

100 - 35 = 65%.

So P(B) = 0.65

Service 2 has a record of 2.0% of packages being delivered late.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.02

Probability of a late delivery.

35% from service 1. Of those, 3% are late.

65% from service 2. Of those, 2% are late.

So

P(A) = 0.35*0.03 + 0.65*0.02 = 0.0235

What is the probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

P(B|A) = \frac{0.65*0.02}{0.0235} = 0.5532

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

answer= x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 35% × x = 7

or,  

35

100

× x = 7

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 35,

we have x = 7 ×  

100

35

x = 20

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 7×100÷35, which will give you the answer.
